A Man Drowns While Being Baptised

Baptism is a religious ritual based on the Christian faith that cleanses the sins of the baptised. While carrying out this ritual, in Accra Ghana, a 20-year-old man drowned while being baptised by a pastor in a river.

The young man, Yaw Kyeremeh was reportedly standing at the bank of River Densu with the pastor who carried out the baptism.
The pastor dipped him in water, offered a short prayer and dipped him in water a second time but this time he did not resurface.

The police announced to BBC that a junior pastor had been arrested at the scene while the pastor who had carried out the baptism that led to the young man’s drowning is still at large.
